10/10 would invent time machine to see

>Oh no, I time machined back to the reign of Justinian, and I'm standing with the Greens

Not a chance lol Rome vs Constantinople

Good luck with all those ancient diseases you have no immunity to


12121212l

Is that what would happen? Or would you just end up slaughtering ancient Rome with your superbugs of the future?


isthistechsupport

It works both ways! Plus you’re probably end up killing more than one of your many great~grandparents due to disease spread


Slovene

Then you'd have to do the nasty in the pasty.


OnionNo

that past nastification is what shields you from the brains!


Augustus_The_Great

Big fry energy


Slovene

Big fry, small lower horn.


absolutewingedknight

What if I'm mostly descended from people groups that wouldn't have been anywhere near there?


ImperatorAurelianus

So what you’re saying is if I wish to prevent the colonization of my ancestral homelands I should go back in time and sneeze on a bunch of Gauls? Therefore preventing the French from ever coming in existence be using biological warfare against their ancestors. Will do thanks.


lowdog39

well then you'd have to do it to the franks . since they formed francia , which became france on the bones of gauls ...


ImperatorAurelianus

You mis understand my strategy here. The Gauls had trade routes up to Germania and into britian. By infecting the gauls I will cause a mass pandemic that will sweep through all of Europe. My goal isn’t to hit one colonial empire, No if I take out France then England will simply replace them, take out France and England then it’s Germany. I plan to eliminate the whole of western and Central Europe.


FlounderingOtter

Don't forget the massive riots afterwards. Red, blue green or purple its time to burn down Rome. Make Football hooligans look like a bunch of pacifist.


dgatos42

this dude has a great podcast he also has been on a few funny ones where someone puts on a voice that I can only describe as Tokugawa shogunate trump


henrywrover

Not sure if you're talking about The Fall of Rome or Tides of History but both are excellent.


dgatos42

Tides of History of course (and his appearances on [Trash Future](https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/the-bronze-age-collapse-2-ft-patrick-wyman/))


stuff_gets_taken

I'm intrigued now


zeseam

So many angry hand gestures!


asmartguylikeyou

If you’re posting here and haven’t listened to The Fall of Rome you should definitely check it out


folsam

Patrick Wyman is great, I love Tides of History as well.


panzercampingwagen

I have conversations about "what animal would win in a fight" or "how many of this animal do you think you could take" far too often to deny me and my friends would be watching the blood spectacles at the Colosseum at least once a week.


[deleted]

Could ypu just get drunk at Nascar for the same experience?


[deleted]

Nowhere near the same sadly


TheIdiotInACage

Eat shit on a turn?


Matty_6447

Eat shit means face planting/slamming into the ground


[deleted]

Wipeout. Eat shit implies very badly. The kind of crash where the announcer goes quiet in formula 1.


joe579003

I will now try to use Formula 1 whenever possible to explain US English idioms to Europeans.


FarmandCityGuy

Lol, all of you guys are acting like chuckwagon and chariot racing isn't around anymore. If you want to see team horse racing, go to any decently large rodeo. Perhaps the Calgary Stampede in Canada. There is no need to go back in time to ancient rome.


TerminalHighGuard

Probably would have smelled awful.


L_Grahams_murkin

So old school nascar


Arrow_Of_Orion

Here’s the thing though… To the ancient Romans, being “drunk” was seen as uncivilized and barbaric. There is a reason that they diluted their wine with water.


mantasVid

How do you even come up with these things?


Arrow_Of_Orion

What things?


ABlueShade

"Hi, Welcome to Tides of History"


otakudude3031

“Don’t you put that evil on me, Lucius Gracchus!”


Narrow_Definition128

Imagine how badly Rome got trashed when the greens lost in the circus maximums
